Judging

Notes:

Matthew 7:1-12 Jesus commands us not to have a judgmental attitude that tears others down. We are to treat people the same way we want to be treated.
Romans 2:1-3 Our perspective is very limited, and quite often our perceptions of people and situations are wrong. Whenever we measure out self-determined harsh judgments of others, we become the sinner and will receive the judgment of God.
Romans 14:1-15:7 This chapter addresses the need for believers to love each other without strings attached but simply because we all belong to God and are in the same family.
Verse 4 How could anyone allow himself to become so prideful that he harshly criticizes someone whom God has chosen to be in His family?
Matthew 7:15 We must judge what the prophets are saying to decide if it is right to believe.
Acts 20:29-31 PaulĂ˘€™s exhortation is very alarming and must be heeded.
1John 4:1 We must judge what we listen to, comparing what is said to the Scriptures. Two extremes to avoid are a reckless open-mindedness and a stubborn narrow-mindedness.
Acts 17:11 We must search the Scriptures to see if these things are so.
1Corinthians 5:1-3 Paul confronted the church for not judging.
Verses 4-13 We must be able to judge what a person is doing to the degree it will not ill effect us.
James 1:5 Ask for GodĂ˘€™s wisdom to avoid hypocritical judgments and to maintain wise judgments.
